NFL head coaches have a difficult and seemingly miserable job, one that marries personnel management, long hours, complex decision-making, and clunky headsets. It’s like being a Michelin-starred chef de cuisine on an offshore oil rig, and, to make matters worse, every game serves as a televised performance review. The number of current coaches who’ve been able to achieve reliable success is in the single digits, yet millions of people watching at home think they could do better. No one exemplifies this dissonance more than Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, a man who’s mastered the hardest parts of his job but maintains a reputation for making simple mistakes.
